Calamitous Truss Will Keep The Conservatives Out Of Power For A Generation

 

Coming along and saying you stand against the “anti-growth coalition”, just days after crashing the economy - and currently presiding over Dickensian living standards - really does take some brass neck, even by the Tories standards. 

I have heard some unconvincing nonsense over the years. “Get Brexit Done”, breaking laws in a “limited and specific way”, “I didn’t attend any party”, and how could we ever forget, “nothing has changed”? 

The Tories are in a whole world of shit - a bit like our sea and rivers - but don’t you just love to see it? The Tories collapsing I mean, not the free-flowing sewage. 

I heard earlier this week that Liz Truss is already even more unpopular than Boris Johnson was at his very lowest point, which is quite some achievement so soon into her reign of pain. 

But get this, friends of the left, Liz Truss is even less popular than our own Jeremy Corbyn ever was, although you wouldn’t know that if you only ever rely on mainstream media as your news source of choice. 

The Tories dragged their collective carcasses to Birmingham this week, and we certainly found out exactly what this new government - installed by just 80,000 centenarians - really does stand for. 

Or in the case of Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, who she stands against. 

“I would love to have a front page of The Telegraph with a plane taking off to Rwanda, that’s my dream, it’s my obsession”, says Braverman. 

Most of us can’t remember our dreams, or the details are very sketchy, but Braverman - one of the very few people that sits to the right of her predecessor, Priti Patel - dreams about landing a plane full of refugees in Rwanda, a country Britain was criticising for human rights abuses just two years ago. 

What’s your obsession? Social media? Football? Family? Gaming? Golf? All of these things are perfectly acceptable. 

But what kind of malignant ghoul obsesses about sending a human being half way round the world in the hope of a favourable headline from the Torygraph? 

Has anyone told Braverman these costly expulsions and the UK’s denial of access to asylum on its own territory is a clear abrogation of the UK’s international responsibilities and obligations to asylum seekers and refugees? 

Essentially, Braverman is seeking to entirely shift our asylum responsibilities onto another country, acting against the object and purpose of the 1951 Refugee Convention - a convention the UK helped draft. 

We also found out a bit more about the batshit Bannonite ERG Education Minister Andrea Jenkyns who was called out for peddling fake news and stoking culture wars. 

Jenkyns said: 

“The current system would rather our young people get a degree in Harry Potter studies than an apprenticeship in construction”. 

Surely the Education Minister must know there are currently no British universities offering a degree in Harry Potter studies? 

This populist war-on-woke thing really isn’t scoring many hits outside of social media. Truss thinks it works. Maybe it did once, under a different leader, but now it doesn’t.

It will always have its audience, of course, because it’s easy to blame lefty lawyers, Corbynites, the EU/, Meghan Markle, refugees in rubber boats, charities, and civil servants when the audience you are pitching to in the Mail, or Sophie Corcoran’s Twitter feed, has the collective IQ of an inebriated slug. 

Talking of slugs, Tory chair, Jake Berry - once described to me by a Labour MP as a “knob of the highest order” - proved himself to be a knob of the highest order with his tips for plebeian survival. 

“People know that when their bills arrive, they can either cut their consumption or they can get a higher salary, higher wages, go out there and get that new job." 

Of course Mr Berry, why didn’t we think of that, you classless, crass, grade one Tory blowhard? You know exactly where you can shove that apology, yes?

Listen up Jake, and any other cloth-eared Tory turd with the guts to face up to what they have done and are doing right now, today.

The number of children in poverty will exceed 5 million for the first time in a generation, ON YOUR WATCH, Tory boy. How you even begin to sleep at night is a fucking mystery to me, Jake.

The Tories are guided by the wants of the millionaires in the boardroom while the needs of the millions on the breadline are left to rot. 

This cannot go on.

The benefits relied on by millions of families - including many low-paid workers - are set to be slashed, so the Tories can pay for a cut in big business taxes. 

How does that sit with you? I think it’s a moral outrage, and I will be out on the streets with tens-of-thousands of others to protest against this illegitimate right-wing crackpot government.

Isn’t 330,000 austerity-related deaths between 2012-2019 enough for the social murderering Tory party that still have the blood of tens of thousands of Covid victims on their filthy hands?

Clearly not. 

If Trumpian Truss thinks the rebellion against the millionaires tax cut was an issue within her own ranks she will absolutely shit herself when she finds out how her MPs feel about cutting benefits  at the same time as lifting the cap on bankers bonuses. 

Read the room Liz, for the love of God, read the fucking room.

The keynote speech from Truss was a blatantly obvious attempt to open up a new front on the culture wars. 

I remember when if political times were hard you could scream “woke” at the top of your voice and the right-wing would assemble, ready to dog pile Gary Lineker for tweeting his concern for the plight of refugees. 

But I think those days have passed, as I said earlier. You only need to look at the anti-Tory vote in the polls to see what kind of effect this war-on-woke thing has with a general public that neither considers themselves “woke” or “anti-woke”. 

Most of us are guided by simple values such as compassion and kindness towards others, we are known as socialists and we don’t need any fancy MSM-created titles that have been designed to divide us. 

It really has been an extraordinary last few days and weeks. From the departure of Boris Johnson at the beginning of September to where we find ourselves today under the faltering leadership of Liz Truss. 

And of course, just 3 days into this new hard-right era, the Queen passed away, and that was always likely to force you into writing the bankers mini-budget, if you just so happened to be the instantly unlikable Chancellor, Kamikwasi Kwarteng. 

Whilst most fair-minded people assumed the collapse of the Pound was entirely intentional and to the benefit of the hedge fund bosses that met up with Kwarteng just 3 days before the great crash, the Chancellor had an explanation of his own.

Kwarteng said:

“What was extraordinary about that month, was that we had a new Government and also we had the sad passing of the Majesty Queen Elizabeth.

So we had a nation in mourning. And then literally, four days after the funeral, we had the mini budget, it was high speed, high pressure environments.”  

I wonder how many of you had “blame the late Queen”, on their Tory excuses bingo card? I know I didn’t, so credit must go to Kwarteng for his originality. 

The biggest problem for this new Tory government for the millionaires and billionaires is the fact they have amputated their own political legs before they even thought about putting one front in front of the other and walking. 

Maladroit Truss is so unbelievably awkward and robotic that she makes Theresa May look relaxed and amenable. Her oratorical skills are not just lacking, but quite literally non-existent.. 

If you paid any attention to Truss’s reading at the Queen’s funeral and her substance-free speech at the Conservative Party conference this week you might’ve noticed the actual delivery was remarkably similar. 

Truss was presented with a massive opportunity to win over the hearts and minds of the British people in the aftermath of the Monarch’s death, but she fucked that up too.

It’s hard to imagine the career-opportunist Boris Johnson passing up on the chance to milk her death for every last drop possible drop of political capital. 

Liz Truss is quite simply unlikable. She is disingenuous, utterly incompetent, and untrustworthy. She is the perfect example of an ideologically-flawed political shapeshifter.

She will throw any of her Tory colleagues under the first passing bus - Kwarteng and Rees-Mogg spring to mind - essentially to cover up her own blatant inadequacies. 

I cannot imagine the Tories going into the next general election with Liz Truss at the helm - unless they are happy to lose to Starmer’s Labour, dispose of Truss, and rebuild their poisonous party with a period in opposition. 

While the likely replacement doesn’t sit well with a vast majority of the left, it’s still important to enjoy watching the death of the Conservative party because as it stands they will be out of power for a generation.

Mission accomplished, Agent Truss.

Until next time,
